Human Rights Essay Contest

The Goldstein Family Community Chair In Human Rights hosts a human rights essay contest each spring for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Human rights are instrumental to our well-being and success as individuals. By engaging students in human rights topics early, we hope to spark understanding and curiosity about these issues that students will carry into their future endeavors of lifelong learning.
